Introduction to Metadata
Metadata is the heart of Final Cut Server. Final Cut Server uses metadata for nearly all
aspects of managing assets as well as configuring many aspects of the client.
Final Cut Server automatically configures the metadata settings based on the profile
selected during the installation of Final Cut Server. However, you can customize the
metadata settings to enhance your workflows.
